This Wednesday was pivotal for the Groups. Finally, after long research, exposure to professionals and the visit to the airport, the students presented their progress, including some concrete results and analysis, to a panel of CUT coordinating team and external professionals. The guests were Michael Tyrimos and Andrea Katsavra. Michael is COO of Exelia Technologies, a technology company based in Cyprus and Andrea is an architect with experience on the design and construction of the Larnaca and Pafos airports. You can find more information on our mentors at the Facilitation page.
Each group had a separate session, where they presented their progress for 15 minutes, followed by sometimes vivid discussions about certain aspects of their project for about 45 minutes. Each Group presented their concept in a very different way, but all showed great progress in most if not all the areas outlined in the brief. What is equally exciting is that all of the Groups integrated the existing terminal in different ways though-thus giving life back to a building, which was denied its future.
As the students are preparing for the final stretch and submission, the CUT facilitation team will be meeting them once more to provide guidelines and advice before submission.
